Zach Randolph bounced back after a couple poor outings for 28 points, 14 rebounds and two steals on 8-of-17 shooting, and also hit 12-of-16 free throws as the Grizzlies beat the Thunder 88-84 in OKC to win Game 5 and take the series 4-1, advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

This is the Grizzlies' first trip to the WCF and they'll face the winner of the Spurs-Warriors series. Randolph missed a pair of free throws with 10 seconds left and a two-point lead, but Kevin Durant wasn't even close with the wide-open jumper he created for himself. Mike Conley had 13 points and 11 dimes, Marc Gasol hit some big shots late to finish with 10 points and seven rebounds, and Tony Allen added 11 points, a huge, late 3-point play and stellar defense in the win.

Stanley Johnson will enter the starting lineup on Monday vs. the Kings in place of James Ennis.

The Pistons have lost seven out of their last eight games and Ennis has a combined nine points in his last three games. Johnson did have a nice stretch back in February, but he's been quiet even since. Most fantasy owners can use a wait-and-see approach here, but Reggie Bullock is the only wing you can trust in Detroit right now.

Ben Simmons posted his ninth triple-double of the season in Monday's 108-94 win over the Hornets, scoring 11 points (4-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs) with 15 assists and 12 rebounds.

His nine triple-doubles are the most by a 76er since Wilt Chamberlain posted 31 in 1967-68. Simmons also racked up three steals on the night and this was his fourth straight point-assist double-double, the longest streak by a rookie since Darren Collison in 2010. The 76ers are in sixth place in the East, have won three straight and have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the league. Life is good for Philly fans these days.

Joel Embiid scored 25 points and matched his career-high with 19 rebounds in Monday's 108-94 win over the Hornets.

The Process hit 10-of-17 shots and 4-of-6 free throws with two assists, four triples and four blocks, but he was a little careless with the ball as he racked up a career-high nine turnovers. He attempted six triples on the night which is what coach Brett Brown asked him to do recently, and he made his 100th career triple in this game which makes him one of 10 7-footers in the NBA with at least 100 treys over the past two seasons.

Of course he is. The Grizzlies just placed him on the inactive list with no warning, but this isn't the first time a tanking team has been shady this season. Andrew Harrison (wrist) will start alongside Dillon Brooks and is a solid streaming option and pickup for the week.

He was given a 4-to-6 week timetable after undergoing surgery on his broken left hand in early March, and March 30 would be around the 4-week mark. The fantasy playoffs will almost be over at that point, but if your league runs through April, Hart could have some low-end value because he was playing really well before the injury.

Jose Calderon and Ante Zizic will return to the bench for Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Kyle Korver (personal) and Kevin Love (hand) are back, so the Cavs will roll out a starting five featuring George Hill, Korver, Jeff Green, LeBron James and Love. Calderon and Zizic won't be worth using anywhere with the Cavs getting healthy again.

Derrick Favors (knee soreness) will not play on Tuesday vs. the Hawks.

As Favors' owners know, his knee is always a concern and the Jazz will use this opportunity to give him some extra rest vs. the tanking Hawks. We'll list Favors as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Mavericks. Jonas Jerebko will pick up some of Favors' minutes and we may see more small ball with guys like Royce O'Neale and Jae Crowder stepping up.

John Collins (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Collins suffered the injury during Saturday's game, and it's not a great sign that he's being ruled out a full 24 hours in advance. The Hawks do have four games this week, but with two of them being a Thursday-Friday back-to-back set, Collins might only be available for two of those four games. He was playing well prior to going down, but with him out until at least Thursday, he's a cut-candidate in standard leagues. Mike Muscala and Dewayne Dedmon will benefit in his absence.

Kris Dunn (toe) has suffered a setback and will go into a walking boot.

The Bulls are officially listing Dunn as day-to-day, but in Chicago speak, that could really mean week-to-week. There's zero incentive to rush Dunn back to the court and risk another setback, so expect them to be extremely cautious bringing him along. Cameron Payne will be starting in his absence, and after posting a 13-point, 10-dime double-double on Saturday, he's someone to consider swooping up in deep leagues. Dunn, unfortunately, is a cut candidate.

Kyle Korver (sore right foot) said he will play on Monday vs. the Bucks.

He was a game-time call, but there's no word of any restrictions. The Cavaliers may not have that luxury because they are very shorthanded. If you need to stream 3-pointers, Korver is definitely a solid option and the Cavaliers play four times this week.

Marc Gasol (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

If the Grizzlies were battling for a playoff spot you can bet that Gasol would have gutted it out, but there's just zero incentive for him to play at less than 100% at this point. Deyonta Davis could be looking at a start tonight, and we should also see plenty of small ball lineups with guys like JaMycal Green and Jarrell Martin running the five-spot; Tyreke Evans will also be very busy on offense. The Grizzlies have a Wednesday-Thursday back-to-back set coming up, and for now, we'll be considering Gasol questionable for Wednesday's game.
